Amazed they didn't put "It'll turn your kids into killers."

I found this title easy to believe; after all The Sun is a notorious rag. But then I read the original article and saw that it finished with a contrasting pro-Wii U point of view! That part was conveniently left out of Nintendo-Insider's rage-filled response article...

I disagreed with much of what The Sun wrote, but then they made some valid points too - it's actually an uncharacteristically well-balanced ‘pros and cons’ article!

I have to point something out too, since NI are ridiculing The Sun as a publication. "The Sun immediately denied that they weren’t deliberately targeting Nintendo..." is a double negative - nice work, guys.

Perhaps, if NI let their rage die down long enough to proof read their own rants, they could earn the credibility to be taken more seriously than The Sun?

Some will like it, some will not – personally, I’m hoping the Wii U does great and I don’t need articles like this trying to make my mind up for me!

Has the sun ever responded to 21 million 3DS's sold regardless of their antics last year?

Why does the sun always rise over a pile of shi*

Why is gaming turning into whining about every little thing ? Hey you got to sell copies and make a living. No hard feelings.

I like apple, but not for gaming, finding a Thai place to eat near by the iPhone is awesome for that.

"you could spend your money on “a lifetime’s supply of iPhone apps,”

NO!

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
